There are some patients who have<br />
symptoms of illness who are either<br />
‘frightened’ to enter a medical clinic or<br />
feel that they don’t want to bother their<br />
doctor at such a time. It is important<br />
that we encourage patients to still<br />
seek help if they have a medical<br />
problem. All clinics will have<br />
stringent measures in place to protect<br />
patients <strong>and</strong> of course staff!<br />
As there is a delay in specialist<br />
appointments, many patients are now<br />
opting to see specialists privately. This<br />
may not be as expensive as you may<br />
think (in many cases less than 100€).<br />
Underst<strong>and</strong>ably this option may not<br />
be affordable for some but in these<br />
unusual times many patients are taking<br />
this option. Many laughingly quote<br />
what they saved on social expenses<br />
throughout lockdown!!<br />
What some patients do not realise is<br />
that just because they have one private<br />
appointment it doesn’t mean that they<br />
have to ‘stay private’. Many patients<br />
‘dip in <strong>and</strong> out’ of the private health<br />
care system. Sometimes people choose<br />
to have a private consultation to avoid<br />
waiting for a social appointment, <strong>and</strong><br />
some because of the language barrier,<br />
especially if their problem is of a<br />
private nature <strong>and</strong> they do not wish to<br />
involve an interpreter.<br />
It is always good to be aware of your<br />
choices!<br />
